Centralia Community Church

There is a war within us and around us because we are a fickle people. The inconsistency of our flesh creates a heavy burden but Jesus invites us to come and find rest in Him. We can partner in the Kingdom work, a yoke that is easy and a burden that is light… a Jesus-shaped church on mission.

Jesus calls his followers to radical generosity, urging us to prioritize spiritual(eternal) treasures, trust God for daily provision, and sacrificially serve the poor.

A generous life will require a plan. Here are five best practices to live out Jesus’ vision of the generous life.

Luke 12: “The stock options belonging to a manager vested after a major run-up in share price, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I already have enough saved to send my kids to college, my house is paid off, and I already max out my 401k every year?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will open an investment account and create a passive income portfolio, and I’ll exercise my options and...

Concern for the poor holds a prominent place in God’s heart, and this priority is reflected in Jesus’ teaching and in the practices of his earliest followers.

In the biblical paradigm of stewardship, God owns everything, we are entrusted with His resources to do good, and He bless us so we can give more. cccog.com/beyond-sunday

Stewardship is a rich theme throughout the library of scripture and in Jesus’ instruction to his disciples.

We are reminded that Jesus’ church is not defined by buildings, progra...

The majority of Jesus’ teachings on money are warnings. He understood that greed poisons us, making us anxious, distracted, discontent, and lonely. But by simplifying our lives, we open ourselves to the freedom of contentment. Message by Devin Burton, "Watch Out for Greed" as part of our "The Generosity Practice" series.

Jesus regularly made bold claims that turn our vision of the good life on its head. One of the most counter-intuitive is his statement that there is more joy in giving than in receiving, and that freedom is found as we embody God’s generous heart.

Jesus faced suffering and trials to the glory of God. Before the Church is sent in the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus prays that we would be unified, protected, and rooted in love.

In His kindness God has called us to...
